Herbert II. Bancrofts History of British columbal
One morning in December 1849,
while Mckay, a prominent factor of
the Hudson Bay Company. was en-
gagged in the. Office at Fort Victoria, he
was called aside by the foreman of the
blacksmith shop, who informed him
that an old Nanaimo chief from the
vicinity OF what was then called Pro-
lection Island, had made an important
statement While waiting at the shop
to have his gun repaired, he noticed the
men replenishing the fire with coal.
Picking up some of the Jumps he ex-
amined them carefully and finally re-
marked that there was plenty of such
stone where he lived Mckay ques-
toned the chief who thereupon re-
peatcd what he had told the black
smith giving some additional particu-
lars. The factor then promised the
chief a bottle of rum if he would bring
him some pieces of the stuff, and be
should have his gun repaired for
nothing besides The chief accepted.
He was poor and feeble, the gun would
help to procure him food and the rum
would warm his stiffened Joints and
dispel his misery for moment. The
ancient aboriginal went his way, and
the fur-trader went his, and as nothing
further was seen or heard of the CHIEF

CLEVELAND FOR 1855.

Events are shaping themselves.
The American mind is settling down
to one great issue for 1883. When
President Cleveland was inaucurated
there was general popular wish and
expectation that all the republican
officials would be speedily replaced by
democrats. A general disappointment
and consequent chatting resulted when
it was found that the president had in
the main adopted the policy of letting
republican officials serve out their
four years terms It was the general
sentiment that, while Federal officials
should be allowed ordinarily 10 serve
their four years term yet, upon change
of the government from republican to
democratic methods the whole person
mel ought to be changed so as to be il
sympathy with the new reform adj
ministration elected by the people.
But President Cleveland concluded to
take the law as it stands on the statute
books and in the main to let republi-
cans hold on until the expiration Of
their official terms, waving, as a gen,
eral rule, his constitutional preroga
tive to dismiss them at his pleasure
His whole presidential career shows
that he would have preferred to have
had the terms of Office expire at the
beginning of his term as he wanted
the subordinate heads of department,
in sympathy with his policy. This i
clearly shown IN his action on the
Stone and Benton cases. But tn,

ITnsIlion Letter.

IT has been some time since we have given
our young folks (and it may be of interest to
many of our older ones) fashion letter. At
this season of the year most especially the
question of "what to wear, and how to make
it" becomes a very important one. Fashion
we all acknowledge is great tyrant, but we
bow to it in q measures nevertheless. One be-
comes quite as conspicuous sometimes for be-
ing out of the style as for being in, and happy
medium is very desirable. To those who ad-
mire simplicity and plain dressing the present
fashions will be very acceptable, for never has
there been a season when plainness in the
make Of dresses has been SO universally
adopted. The skirts of dresses are not trim
med this season or very simply. The under
skirt of dresses have no more flounces or plait-
ings around the bottom sometimes a fiat braid
is used, but ofUener the skirt is made perfectly
plain and the oyerskrt very long and full.
Basques are still worn and the favorite style:
many full sleeves are seen, a large puff from
the arm hole nearly to the elbow and then
tight at the hand. Others prefer tight plain
sleeve, tho sleeves are not made so tight as
formerly. Many new dress goods are shown
Henrietta cloth has only been made in black,
for mourning goods but this year we have it
in all colors, and it is one of the most fashion,
able materials used it comes in all shades;
electric gobelin blue and plum color seem to
be the favorites 5his year; gray is also much

costume. Plaids are very much worn this
winter, especially for young girls; a plain

Sashes worn this fall are very long, falling to
the bottom of the skirt. We have also a

tine, both of these goods show fine cord run

some patterns in braid come in sets, a panel

these sets como III all prices from seventy-dye
cents to ten and twenty dollars. Plush and
velvet is still used for trimming, but not so
popular as watered silks. High collars on
dresses are goiii~o tout Of vogue except for out

full dress are much worn and long plaid ulsters
for common wear. In hats, we have the
